It is possible to use desktop mode with scrcpy (although I never tried it)
But the quality is not the best, especially not over USB2
scrcpy is not stricto sensu a desktop mode. It’s a screen copy of the phone into a monitor.
Here, deskop mode means that the monitor is a secondary display with their own windows on it.

Just some context from the CCO:

I’ll get my FP6 today, but I already know I’ll need a FP7… FP5 is great. But the screen doesn’t have AoD and the battery drains too fast. Auto brightness is also not that bright (intelligent).

Hello, new user here. I was just buying the device but the lack of usb-3 and desktop mode preventend me from buying the phone. There will ever be a Fairphone6+ or an upgrade module for the Fairphone 6?
Pleasw read the topic to not start this speculation anew. Thanks

Well, no one asked you to read everything. Read until you have your answer.

In short:
The FP6 is missing needed hardware data lanes for USB 3.x eventhough the chip supports it.
So the FP6 won’t ever be able to get USB 3.x: no DisplayPort, no high data rates, no plan from Fairphone to remediate the situation by introducing either FP6+ or a successor. Maybe it’s still a bit early for prognoses. Reasons for that were to make the phone cheaper for the target market.

There won’t be an upgrade module. And none of us know whether they’ll make a FP6+, there’s been nothing to indicate there will be so far.
